The National JCC Adult & Senior Alliance invites all to join us for our Cultural Arts Trip:
Santa Fe: Arts, Crafts, Operas & More!
July 14-(19), 2026

Understand why New Mexico is called “The Land of Enchantment” by experiencing its stunning Landscapes, fascinating History, traditional and innovative Cuisine, diverse collection of Art & Art Galleries, unique Architecture and, of course, the renowned Santa Fe Opera.
Three beautiful performances await: Mozart’s delightful Die Zauberflöte (“The Magic Flute”), Puccini’s soaring and heartbreaking Madama Butterfly, and Tchaikovsky's melancholy Eugene Onegin.
